I humbly think you're wrong Matt: If Palmer had Buford, Belanger and Brooks, Felix had Guti (for a while), Ryan (for a while) and a pretty good 3B, too.
In their 1st 9 full seasons (I'm not counting this season for Felix) their ERA+'s looked like this:
Felix Palmer
98 98
112 152
123 134
171 126
174 149
109 155
124 105
121 161
And Palmer's teams got to 4 WS (winning 2) AND he had those THREE Cy's! In his 1st three full seasons, Palmer's WHIP exceeded 1.2 exactly twice. Felix has been above that 4 times in 9 seasons.
If Palmer was "catastrophically overrated" then Felix is, too.
